Bubble and squeak is a traditional British dish that has been enjoyed for generations. Originally made with leftover meat and vegetables from the Sunday roast, the dish has evolved to include a vegetarian version that uses mashed potatoes and cabbage as its main ingredients. The dish gets its name from the sound it makes while cooking, as the cabbage and mashed potatoes bubble and squeak in the pan. This vegetarian version is perfect for a quick and delicious meal that can be enjoyed any day of the week.

Instructions

1.	Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
2.	Add the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3.	Add the sliced savoy cabbage to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until the cabbage is tender and lightly browned.
4.	Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and mix well with the cabbage and onions.
5.	Press the mixture down into the pan with a spatula and cook for 10-12 minutes until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
6.	Turn the bubble and squeak over in the pan and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the other side is crispy and browned.
7.	Remove from heat and serve hot with your favorite sauce or gravy.
